SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Focus.com, the leading community for business expertise, with more than 750,000 members and over 5,000 business and technology experts, today announced that it has been recognized by Crain's BtoB Magazine as one of the Top 10 media sites of 2010.

The Crain's BtoB Magazine "Top 10 Media Sites" issue recognizes the online media business communities which represent the best in innovation and content that the web has to offer. The selection process consisted of an exhaustive analysis of the leading sites and online communities across ten categories in the media business landscape. A panel of judges, which was organized by Crain's BtoB Magazine's editorial staff of industry influencers, then chose the 10 best of the remaining finalists. Nominees were judged in several categories, including site appearance, site views, interactive multimedia functionalities, audience engagement, search capabilities, and others.  

In addition to being selected to the "Top 10" list, Focus.com also earned the prestigious recognition of being the best business media site to have launched in 2010. Among other criteria, Crain's BtoB Magazine selected Focus.com because of its rapidly growing expert network which powers the site's world class research, Q&A community, topical briefs, and interactive events. BtoB Magazine also cited Focus' adoption of social media features in a professional setting as a key point of differentiation for the site.

"Crain's BtoB Magazine is the leading authority and most influential voice in the business media community, and being included on their list of the Top Ten best business media sites as well as being named the best overall business media site launch is a true honor," said Scott Albro, CEO of Focus.
